    No, you just want me to defend the Russian fascist kleptocracy and I’m not interested in it. Both fascism and communism are examples of oppression of the people. The Russian kleptocracy being even worse than the Soviet Empire was, in terms of economic outcomes of their people, is largely because the Russians don’t have imperial subjects to exploit any more, outside their reduced borders, and because they’re even less competent than the Soviets were. Both governments are/were trash, and anyone supporting either government is a scumbag.

      Why would I want you to defend a piece of shit like Putin? I responded to your completely vibes-based comment about how the poor were so oppressed by the party with solid data to show that the Soviet Union had the most dramatic inversion of wealth inequality of any country in history.

      As a response, you first want to ignore it and pivot to comparing the wealth of a union that took over an underdeveloped feudal backwater and lived under constant siege to the most wealthy country in history. Then, when called on that, you want to instead pivot to talking about Putin.

      Get it together friend.
